, the latino community." a direct quote from the president in that interview. meanwhile, republican challenger mitt romney is facing another distraction in the interview of abortion rights for women. cnn's national political correspondent jim acosta is with the romney campaign in reno, nevada. >> reporter: in what's now a horse race to the finish, mitt romney was rounding up votes in nevada and trying to stay on message on the economy. >> the president doesn't understand what it takes to get this economy going. he doesn't have a plan to get jobs for americans. i do. and that's why i'm going to win. >> reporter: romney's in the midst of a swing state blitz flying from colorado to nevada to iowa to ohio then back to iowa, back to ohio and then onto florida and virginia. >> this is that issue that every candidate for federal or state office -- >> reporter: but a new distraction cropped up where richard mourdock made jaws drop with his comments on why abortion should be outlawed in the case of rape. >> i came to realize life is that gift from god. and i think even when life begins in that horrible

in a more aggressive way. >> i want to ask you about the enthusiasm gap particularly among latino voters. we see in our polling while the president has a huge edge in the latino vote, there's a real drop-off since 2008 when then it was 77% enthusiasm, now it is 59% in terms of hispanic americans. what you going to do to make sure people turn out? >> nare sending me all over the country. i'll be at jefferson-jackson dinner in iowa, i've been it to florida. we have surrogates all across the country. we have a grassroots campaign that has been talked about as the most aggressive, the most focused on social media and on a broad cross-section of speaking to voters. we're going to knock on doors and talk to voters, and we're going to get that vote out. i agree that our work is cut out for us. it's cut out for them, too. that's what elections are all about. >> thank you very much, mr. mayor. i know you're out there at the campaign event where the president is going to be speaking later. you just gave your speech, and thanks for joining us today. >> thank you, andrea. sorry we were a little late, bu

. when you look at women among ethnic lines, latino women and african-american women that's a wider gender gap. a lot has to do with the age of the respondent. >> i want to show quinnipiac the poll they have out. showing the president with a double digit lead among women. leading overall there by five points. do you think it will boil down to ohio? >> it looks like it may boil down thoi. i'm still worried. maybe i'm a worry wart we're hearded to a scenario where there's a electoral vote and popular vote which will be a disaster for the country. if we have to go through something like that again with all until applications of a banana republic it would imply and be awful. i hope it won't be that way but i have a little bit of fear. >> ambassador ross when we talk about the president coming in tonight with a different purview from the oval office on foreign policy what it means for noerk be a world leader and calling other countries to rise up do you think he walks a fine line of being able to lay out that agenda and do so in a way that americans want to resonate with that because in

of emphasis. in colorado, latino are an influential voting block the he has been polling in the low 30's and even high 20 but most g.o.p. strategists says to be competitive nationally he has to get 40 percent of the that tomorrow vote. he is not close. the emphasis is he will not do what in his words he said, there will not be roundups of people being deported. he was reluctant to say that in the republican primaries and now, where latinos hold more sway than in the republican election process he is making a big deal of that. immigration is not going to be on the agenda tomorrow in the debate. there are six segments and the first three are on the economy, then obamacare, the role of government, and how each individual would governor iran -- govern in their approach to governing. if he has a liability, it is when he talked about the 47 percent of people in america who do not pay income taxes. paul ryan was on the trail today in iowa and turned it from a defensive problem for the romney campaign into the advance of the way they will frail the race in terms of the stagnation economy that th

th. of course, it's really on november the 6th. latino groupd government have already had a lot of tension lately, and often clash mostly about immigration issues. county officials say the error has been fixed. the local rights group says the damage has already been done. pretty extraordinary, isn't it? stay with cnn. we're all over the voter card mistake story. live from washington in the next hour with more reaction from latino groups in arizona, and how the county is explaining exactly what happened there. >>> well, the u.s. needs mexican resources. words of advice from across the border to the men hoping to be the next u.s. president. there is also some concern about u.s. immigration policy. take a look. ♪ >> new president has to be able to recognize that the country needs mexican resources can come here and benefit a lot of people and especially the mexican economy. >> translator: the president mustence aorki f them? just that. >> translator: in the united states to treat badly those without pars, that's wrong. i don't agree with that. >> translator: the relations should

about appealing to women, appealing to latinos. throughout the course of the 2012 campaign, we have heard a lot about the strategy of appealing to women and latinos to eke out a victory for democrats. host: where are the traditionally democratic and republican areas of the state? guest: denver and boulder tend to be democratic. the fifth biggest county for democrats with voter registration is el paso county. that is typically viewed as sort of a republican stronghold, and it is. increasingly, we have seen the ski area communities start to turn democratic. host: a lot of headlines and focus on early voting in this presidential contest. does colorado have it? guest: we do and we have mail in voting about two million people voted early absentee in the 2008 election. that is expected to grow to two 0.5 million this election cycle. keep in mind that colorado has about 2.8 million active voters. about three-quarters of the vote should be conducted in colorado. host: on election day, how do people vote? guest: there are three ways, optical machines, scanning machines and paper ballots. hos

sanchewas part of history four years ago, urging latinos to help make barack obama president. it's different this time around. harder. >> some people are still very excited and others say, i don't know. well, i haven't made up my mind. >> reporter: less hype about the obama campaign this time, she says, and less hope about the candidate. >> it's a little bit harder because sometimes some of them say, well, i don't know who to vote for, these two evils. >> reporter: latinos were 13% of the vote in battleground colorado four years ago. and any dip in their support for the president or a drop in turnout could shift this classic swing state. >> this is one of his songs that's so moving and so powerful. >> reporter: evangelicals are to mitt romney what latinos are to barack obama. white evangelicals made up 23% of colorado's vote in 2008. >> think about life, think about liberty, think about character. and then cast your ballot. >> reporter: this pastor adds a plug to vote to every subd's sermon. >> the most surprising thing is the frustration of many of them with both candidates and the frustrat

the same high level of african-american, latino, yo ung people from 2008. >> david axelrod said polls are widely different in the methodologies so to think they are all wrong. but this is a close race. as we have always predicted. >> the race is not over. it can go back and forth 34 times. met romney half's to create the moment of. >> in the past races were the lead was cut or flipped it is roughly 5% and some cases it was the debate that moved the nidal. lou: our congressional correspondent. thank you mike. 1992 in depended candidate ross perot entered the first of october and ended up 19% of the vote. and special prosecutor decided to influence the outcome to take caspar weinberger with the iran contra affair to lead the way for william jefferson clinton. >> this is called art and to be funded it. we will talk about art to and religion and money and politics. two weeks of cover-up of the murder of our ambassador in the be a. is it taking a toll in the polls? next the "a team." and hollywood's brave new world energy independence is not a noble pursuit. but can righteousness be corrup

different than most people than african- americans, latinos and women saw it. so i don't think you see a lot of people thinking, for example, that barack obama deappreciatated the presidency, they were happy, they saw him as a leader, and they felt that he was finally showing leadership skills during that last debate performance. so it is interesting to see that mitt romney's numbers are ticking up. but if you look at favorability ratings, his numbers are still not good. >> mort. >> i think the debates have been the passaic river ole moments in this -- the pivot ol issues in this campaign. more importantly from mitt romney's point of view, he came across as being presidential. he came across as being knowledgeable, he came across as being articulate, logical, so i think he transformed his image to a lot of people. >> mitt romney? >> yeah, mitt romney. >> i thought he came across as being incredibly rude and disrespectful of the presidency. oh, the first debate. >> yeah, that's just the first debate. in the second debate, if i may say, so if there's one person who really in a sense unbalanced

among voting groups already leaning to the president, youth, latinos, union workers. three, woo undecided women including with this new ad. >> and it would be my preference that they reverse row v. wade. >> hopefully reverse row v. wade. >> reporter: and as for that endorsement from general powell, the president said he was grateful and appreciative of it. he had no advance notice it was coming. but after the general announced it, the president did call him and thank him for it. and he mentioned it here at a rally to the crowd saying it was a deep honor. and no doubt something of a boost to his campaign. wolf. >> no doubt about that. jessica, thank you. mitt romney is focusing in on one of the most critical states for him no republican has ever won the white house without carrying ohio. and that's where the gop nominee is campaigning nonstop on this day. our national political correspondent jim acosta's with the romney campaign in worthington, ohio, right now. what's the very latest, jim? >> reporter: wolf, mitt romney just wrapped up a campaign event here in the columbus area.

: now, she quickly took it off her timeline, but not before she offended both sides of the aisle. latino rebels called it vulgar, another group quotes: >> reporter: well, instead of apologizing, longoria blamed it on twitter saying, quote. >> reporter: well, it might have been the same glitch that caused her to retweet a prison rape joke during the vice presidential debate the week before where she said quote, again: >> reporter: now, finally, long goer ya decided if she's not going to apologize, she might as well kiss out sending out this tweet: >> reporter: happening all the time, right. megyn: it's the anthony weiner defense, right? it wasn't me. i don't know how that happened. how did that wind up? how did that story end again? >> reporter: he came clean. megyn: trace, thank you. [laughter] this is not the end of that story. the obama campaign co-chair. does she need to go on the the record about this? fair and balanced debate coming up, plus much more. stay with us. megyn: fox news alert on a big story breaking from the campaign trail. brand-new hour of "america live." welcome, i'm

, it will be due to the latino vote. reporter: yes, there is a skeptical side of me that said that was all. they didn't then get reporters to focus on the wind. eventually put it on the record so they know that the latino section was a focused and apart that he wants focused on. but i do not think overall the ploy worked. if they were that good. if you look at the front page of the des moines register today, it does not seem too flattering. it is a split screen on the front page. one have says ronnie closes with optimism, the other half is a picture of president obama and says obama sharpens criticism. they are not really good pictures. now come of that paper could endorse president obama in coming days. but i don't know if the off the record thing work for president obama speech you iowa is very important in this home stretch. if you so much, good to see you. bill: he is precisely right about these battleground states and the advertisements. you can time it every time the station goes to a commercial break. i think you are exactly right. >> how many times can you get hit over the head wit

't be a vote play. >> you are building a constituency latino community might be appreciative of the la jess coming into the community. they don't make most of them distinction between people who are hungry and legal or illegal if you are hungry you should get control. this thing is so far out of control it boggles the mind. all about social justice what we talked about at the top of the program. it's so far out of control. it really is. and i don't think people know. i don't think they understand yes mind being cruel because come from a family that got food stamps and welfare. there is 46 million americans on food stamps right now. if you cut out 40 million of those, do you think they would go hungry? i will leave 6 million for people that are desperate and need it and can't work and so on and so forth. do you think those 40 million people would go hungry. >> bill: did your family need the food stamps when you were growing up? >> you don't -- well -- you wouldn't need it if you couldn't get it. if you can get it for free, then you do need it. do you need cable? no. but now that i have had c

to the number. hispanic and latino unemployment. quickly, if you look the at the graphic from 2008 to 2012 and you look at the difference here and the numbers as they're adding up. you're talking about 10% overall unemployment according to bls, in september of 2012. that's not sitting well in the hispanic community and the talk today to the executive director of the hispanic leadership network. >> hispanics are looking at the unemployment rate which has been stuck at 10% and above for the last 44 months, and saying, mr. president, where are the jobs? you campaigned heavily in 2008 to bring jobs back to the hispanic community and they're not there. >> bret: break down this thing into these sections, into numbers that are not great. >> that's right, and look, i think the romney campaign has a sense that it's making progress in its argument among hispanic voters and i would not at all be surprised to see an even more concerted push for the romney campaign to make precisely that argument on unemployment, on jobs, with the hispanic community in particular. >> bret: okay, next up, the friday lig

honeymooners? >> gretchen: what? >> you know what? i deplore in bough the debates not one mention of any latino issues. how is that? >> brian: that is unbelievable. that would -- >> or any urban issues. >> gretchen: interesting transition. but here we go. we should know today whether or not a body found in colorado is that of ten-year-old jessica ridgeway. police are having trouble identifying the body and here is the horrible part, because it is apparently not intact. jessica, that is, disappeared a week ago while walking to school on wednesday, a body was found in a park seven miles from where she was last seen. authorities will hold a news conference this afternoon. they plan to release more information then. >>> one month after ambassador chris stevens was murdered, the obama administration has named a new american envoy to libya. lawrence pope is the new man in charge. he will represent our country -- >> brian: you're getting better and better. >> gretchen: my french is coming back from high school. >> brian: i took german. >> gretchen: until the white house nominates a new one. he was an

in this election than republican constituencies than key ones. seniors versus voters, whether it's latinos, there has been this issue. so, has that been the strategy, trying to buck up the base? >> let me say a few things. first, national polls, the president has always done worse. >> i buy there is a split between those two. >> the president has generally done better in swing states because of the amount of resources. so, i don't think we should democratic panic, should not occur because of that and i think we could feel pretty positive. even with an even national poll, president's taken a hard hit and i think he's ahead in swing states still. on this issue of energy and enthusiasm, i think there was a challenge for the president the month before the election, the debate, that people thought the campaign was over and you were seeing people not as energized now. now, i wouldn't have had that debate performance to get them energized, but i think -- >> that is some interesting lemonade you're making over there. is there any sugar in it at all? >> i think as tight election, you'll see people

students who are not p oor or latino or black. i do not look at it that is -- as something that is harming white students. i think the tough thing is is there is a larger pool of students who are qualified for admissions. people are going to be upset when they are not admitted, but it is not because race is one of the issues considered among 12 different things considered. guest: i noticed one of the earlier answers pointed towards the possible area of consensus. she seems somewhat open to the transparency argue -- i did that we argue for. our major remedy would be a make public how the system works. it is now very secretive. no university ever voluntarily makes public how much weight begins to race nor how well the people who are admitted how well they do. if i was coming in from high school, i would want to know that information before i decided what college to go to. is this college going to take me in as a token and put me in the bottom of the class? transparency would be a very powerful way to improve everything about the situation. if people would go along with the idea of more trans

in essays, and they can benefit students who are not poor orla -- or latino or black. there were black and latino students who are higher academic grades and not admitted in the same class in which she was denied admissions. i think the tough thing is that there's a larger pool of students who are qualified for admissions than can be offered admissions to every university so invariably, people are upset when they are not admitted, but it's not because race is considered # among the 12 things that are considered. >> host: mr. taylor? >> guest: i noticed earlier, towards a possible area of consensus, it's a sensitive topic for a long time, but if you seen some of the transparency idea we argued for in the brief and the book, we don't argue affirmative action, but a major remedy is make public how the system works. it's now very secret, very secret. no university voluntarily makes public how much weight it gives to race nor how well the people who are admitted with lower scores how well they do. if i was coming in from high school now, i'd want to know that sort of information before i de

reduction target will be met. he said if i am re-elected he said the latino vote will be critical. i don't think that's a surprise, but normally you don't hear a presidential candidacy i'm going to be re-elected because i'm going to do really well among latinos. >> i guess it was advisable that the campaign changed their mind and switch up a bit because the romney campaign was attacking him for being secretive and -- >> right. >> and not being open. >> what does he have to hide? why can't he talk to this newspaper publicly? there must be something he is embarrassed about. you know, all these allegations were coming forward, and in the end the campaign said, okay, it's all on the record. go ahead and release the transcript. which they've done, and which i've now read. there is some good stuff in there. >> all right. it is some good stuff. we'll be reading it further. thanks, wolf. good to see you, as always wrrn. >> thank you, suzanne. >> sure. now one journalist has talked to the libyan guards who were on duty that night. their chilling accounts of what actuallyr happened. oke with local

is that good for president obama? given the president's support among african-americans, latinos and other voters, governor romney needs to keep the president to 37%, no more than 38% of the white vote. if the president's cracking 47% of the white vote, that's a formula for an obama victory. and where are the key big battleground states? there are several in the midwest. ohio, iowa, wisconsin. look at the race in the midwest. obama, 52%, romney, 43%. the president is winning that part of the country. out west in denver, colorado, nevada, among the battlegrounds out here in the west. ten-point lead in the west for the president. 54% to 44%. the white vote and if you look regionally, there are things that give the president's team some optimism. >> if you're the romney campaign looking at these new poll numbers, what should give the romney folks some optimism? >> reporter: one of the reasons we are back in a closer race, a statistical dead heat nationally f you go state by state, it's a little different, this number, governor romney has improved his standing among independents. he leads by e

to romney have an advantage now. you start to see democrats, african-americans, latinos get excited after tonight's debate. >> the debate opened on a very fast pace. martha raddatz was not going to be jim lehrer and they started with an obvious vulnerability for the administration, which is benghazi. they had a very sharp exchange. and then not, one of ryan's soundbites of the night came out, which was the foreign policy is unraveling. i think where the clip of that exchange. flesh academy can talk about it. >> is this a massive intelligence failure, vice president i? >> it was a tragedy, martha appeared chris stevens was one of the best. i can make two commitments to you. one, we will find and bring to justice the men who did this. and secondly, we will get to the bottom of it. wherever the facts lead us, we'll make clear to the american public. whatever mistakes i made will not be made again. when you look in president, martha, it seems to me should look at his most important responsibility. that is caring for the national security of the country in the best ways to look at how he handl

, supporters say this is a great thing, and i'm quoting here saying: the to meet these goals for latino and african-american students, schools will have to finally and quite deliberately focus more attention and resources on them. but you might imagine there is an outcry on this thing by those who oppose this, calling it racist. the chairwoman of the palm beach county school board said, and i'm quoting here: i'm somewhere between utter disgust and anger and disappointment with humanity. the state board's actions essentially are proclaiming racism. a lot of parents and educators in the same boat there, the board says it is going ahead with this thing. megyn: wow. all right, trace, thank you. the debate over the moderator has already started. up next, see why both campaigns are raising concerns about cnn's candy you by and how she plans to carry out her duties. >>> and a teenage girl in pakistan to stood up to taliban thugs, an update on her. megyn: fox news alert. reports that the moderator in tomorrow's night's presidential debate could be going rogue, a development causing unease in bo

on african-american voters, latinos and women, particularly suburban, college educated women. you talked about with gloria that gallup poll that the obama campaign attacked calling it an outliar, saying there is no way that obama and romney are tied among women voters. if that is true, though, and if that holds, if it is not an outlie, the obama campaign has a right to be terrified. that would mean obama was going to lose. if women voter s -- it place imperative to talk about issues important to women, reproductive rights, contraception, education, child care. obama will try to force those things into the conversation to maintain his hold on women voters, brooke. >> what about this? this is another point you both make. we talk about the october surprise. you're talking with regard to the debate tonight as the wild card. watch out for the wild card. what do you mean by that? >> well, tonight, you know, the format is different. you talked about it. there is 80 undecided voters from nassau county here in the room, coming up with the questions. the questions won't be created by the modera
